MR> album all in one go and I am not familiar with most of the titles. Do 
MR> you have any other information on the album or the film?
Well some, but I'm sure you and everyone else have heard these...
1. At the end of _Outside The Wall_ someone (probably Rog) says "Isn't this 
where", and at the beginning of _In The Flesh?_ the same person says "We came 
in?", so if you put the end of side two and the beginning of side one 
together, it would say "Isn't this where we came in?" It just shows that the 
album can go in a continuous cycle if linked together.
2. The "speech" in _Waiting For The Worms_ is actually Rog speaking...he 
claimed to have made up and ad-libbed everything he was saying there so he 
has little or no memory of what he was saying...but someone did listen to the 
speech and tried to list what Rog was saying and they printed it in the 
Echoes FAQ [if you're familiar with the Echoes mailing list then you'll know]
3. The original plot for the movie included having the audience during _In 
The Flesh?_ to be bombed (on the album you can hear Pink saying "Drop it! 
Drop it on 'em! Drop it on 'em!")...it was supposed to show a kind of 
similarity between a concert and a war.
4. When Pink is sitting in the bathroom stall, before he sings "Stop", he 
sings what would end up being _Your Possible Pasts_ (which would be on _The 
Final Cut_) and part of _The Moment Of Clarity_ (which would be on Rog's solo 
album +/-oHH).
That's all I can think of right now. Oh yeah, if you have the letterboxed 
version of _The Wall_, look during the _In The Flesh_ (the one after 
_Comfortably Numb_) and you'll see some people wearing "HATE" shirts. I guess 
it refects the theme of the song (ethnic & gay bashing). In the studio 
version of the song it sounds like someone (maybe Pink) is yelling "You! 
Fa**ot!" He probably did to reflect the theme of the song.
